Sweet and Salty Puffcorn Snack Mix

This snack mix combines the airy texture of puffcorn with a delightful mixture of sweet and salty ingredients, making it an irresistible choice for any occasion.

Ingredients

4 cups puffcorn
1 cup mini pretzels
1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, etc.)
1 cup chocolate candies (such as M&M’s)
1/2 cup caramel sauce
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

Start by preheating your oven to 250°F (120°C). This low temperature will help to evenly coat the puffcorn and give it a lovely crisp texture.
In a large bowl, combine the puffcorn, mini pretzels, mixed nuts, and chocolate candies. Stir gently to mix everything without crushing the puffcorn.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter and caramel sauce until fully combined.
Drizzle the caramel mixture over the puffcorn mix, ensuring that it’s evenly distributed. Gently toss the mixture until everything is well-coated.
Next, spread the coated mix out onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to spread it out evenly to promote even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to ensure it doesn’t stick together and bakes evenly.
Once done, remove it from the oven and sprinkle the sea salt over the top while it’s still warm. Allow the mix to cool completely on the baking sheet.
After cooling, break any large clumps apart and store the Sweet and Salty Puffcorn Snack Mix in an airtight container.

This snack mix is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for several days, making it perfect for keeping on hand for unexpected guests or simply to satisfy your own cravings. Enjoy this delicious treat!
